What is the ruling on prioritizing the statement of a Companion over the statement of the Messenger?

The questioner : This questioner asks: Is it permissible to prioritize the statement of one of the Companions over the statement of the Messenger if the hadith is weak?

The Shaykh : Yes. Yes, the rest, the rest. Okay, if the hadith is weak, then it is not [a proof]. Because one of the conditions for a hadith to be a proof is that it be authentic or good. Authentic in itself or through other evidence. Okay. Good in itself or through other evidence. Come on. As for the weak hadith. Authentic. It is weak, and it is not permissible to use it as a proof.
In fact, the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) differed regarding mentioning weak hadiths in the virtues. And some scholars permitted it. Salman.
I mean mentioning weak hadiths in the virtues with three conditions. The first condition is that it has a better [narration]. Or it has become such that it is reported in Abu Thabit. This. And the second is that it not be severely weak. And the third is that one does not believe that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said it. Like this, like this, this market. Some scholars permitted mentioning weak hadiths in the virtues.
And others prohibited it absolutely. At the least. And they said that a weak hadith is not permissible to be relied upon except by acknowledging its weakness. Because it is a man with a defect. Yes. And we have no need for it. Yes? We are content with the authentic hadiths. Authentic.
And at that point, the statement of the Companion is read. This. With the weak hadith, there is no contradiction to it. And the issue is built upon. In the name of Allah. Intentions.
Is the statement of a Companion a proof? Or is it not? And there is disagreement among the scholars of usul al-fiqh (the principles of jurisprudence).
So some of them said that the statement of a Companion. This. Known as fiqh. And fiqh and knowledge is a proof. Unless it is contradicted by authentic evidence. From the Book of Allah. In the name of Allah. And the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Or it is contradicted by the statement of another Companion.
At that time. Please. Authentic evidence from the Book and the Sunnah. Yes. Then it is not a proof. Rather, we excuse this Companion who contradicted the Book and the Sunnah. And if the statement of another Companion contradicts it, then we. I. We seek, we seek. To weigh the two.
